About Rahul Garg

Summary of past experiencesI am a product leader with 14 years of experience building global enterprise B2B products and platforms across organizations of all sizes: AWS (large-scale innovation), Indus (mid-size niche market trailblazer), and Atelio (next-gen startup). My work spans cloud computing, FinTech, developer tools, and open source software, where I’ve taken products from 0 to 1 and scaled them from 1 to 100. I’m passionate about solving meaningful, complex problems through innovative product strategies—empowering millions of users while building multi-million-dollar businesses. My leadership philosophy is anchored on building highly competent teams that thrive and win together. I’m always eager to connect with professionals who share a passion for industry-transforming innovation. Three Career Acts in the Last Decade Act 1: I established myself as a trusted product leader, solving high-impact strategic problems as an individual contributor at Indus and AWS. At Indus, I built a multi-million-dollar business through a product that allowed hedge funds to automate their reports to the global regulators. At AWS, I tackled a high-stakes CEO-level problem, enabling CloudFormation to compete effectively with nimble startups and earning a patent along the way.Act 2: I transitioned into product leadership at AWS, leading a team of three Sr. PMs within the AWS CloudFormation organization. Tasked with revitalizing focus and strategy for a 75+ engineer team, I aligned efforts to the core first principles, beating our organic growth by 8% and strengthening the platform’s competitive position.Act 3: I embarked on the challenge of building a 0-to-1 business at Atelio by FIS. This role offered the unique opportunity to shape a new product category in embedded finance, a fast-growing industry trend to reimagine financial services. As part of the early product team, I developed the foundational supply and core platform strategy, aligning cross-functional stakeholders, influencing CXO-level decisions, and laying the groundwork for future growth and innovation.
